Lichten en dagtekens — Overzichtskaart
Elke variant uit de regels 23-30 op één plek. Elke rij toont de lichten gezien vanuit bakboord, stuurboord, vooraan en achter, plus het dagteken — bedoeld voor snelle herhaling vóór een examen.
Regel 23 — Motorvaartuig
Any vessel propelled by machinery while underway. Length governs the masthead arrangement: ≥50 m requires two mast lights, <50 m one, and <12 m may use a single all-round white instead.
Regel 24 — Slepen en duwen
A power-driven vessel towing or pushing another. The tug shows extra masthead lights depending on its length and the tow length. Tows >200 m add a diamond day-shape on both vessels.
Regel 25 — Zeilvaartuig
Which variant applies to you? → Motor running: use the 'engine running' variant (treated as power-driven). → Sail only, <7 m: no permanent lights needed, just keep a white light ready. → Sail only, any size: show 3 separate lights (sidelights + sternlight). If <20 m you may instead use a single tricolour lantern at the masthead — it replaces all three. Optionally (with the 3 separate lights only, never with tricolour) you may add red-over-green all-rounds at the masthead.
Regel 26 — Vissersvaartuig
Vessels actively fishing with gear that restricts maneuverability. Trawlers (dragging nets) show green-over-white all-round lights; other fishing vessels show red-over-white. Day shape: two cones apex-together.
Regel 27 — Onmanoeuvreerbaar / beperkt manoeuvreerbaar / baggeren
Three special categories: NUC (Not Under Command) — unable to maneuver due to exceptional circumstances; RAM (Restricted in Ability to Maneuver) — constrained by the nature of the work; and vessels engaged in dredging or underwater operations.
Regel 28 — Beperkt door diepgang
A power-driven vessel severely restricted in its ability to deviate from its course due to its draught relative to the available water depth. Adds three all-round red lights vertically to the Rule 23 lights.
Regel 29 — Loodsvaartuig
A vessel engaged on pilotage duty — guiding ships through ports and restricted waters. Identified by white-over-red all-round lights. When at anchor or underway but off duty, it shows only the lights for its length class.
Regel 30 — Voor anker / aan de grond
Anchored vessels show one all-round white light forward (two for ≥50 m); aground vessels add two all-round red lights vertically. Day shapes: one black ball for anchored, three balls in a vertical line for aground.
